“We are problem solvers,” Cuomo said Monday. “And there is price gouging on hand sanitizer and a high demand for hand sanitizer. What do you do? Make your own hand sanitizer.” It costs the state $6.10 to produce a one-gallon bottle of the sanitizer, Cuomo said, far less than it would cost on the open market.
The sanitizer, Cuomo said, is being produced by inmates at Great Meadow Correctional Facility in Washington County. NBC New York has more details:
